Question

Luke’s Lubricants starts business on January 1. The following operations data are available for January for the one lubricant it produces:

    


Costs incurred in January follow:

  
All production at Luke’s is sold as it is produced (there are no finished goods inventories).

Required:

a. Compute cost of goods sold for January. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

b. What is the value of work-in-process inventory on January 31? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Gallons Beginning inventory 0 Started in January 146,000 Ending work-in-process inventory (70% complete) 15,000

Explanation / Answer

Units transferred out = 146000-15000 = 131000 Equivalent units = 131000+(15000*70%)= 141500 Cost per equivalent unit = (152625+21000+74000)/141500= $1.75 a Cost of goods sold for January = 131000*1.75= $229250 b value of work-in-process inventory on January 31 = (15000*70%)*1.75= $18375
